The HORI Fighting Stick Multi is an arcade game controller released by Hori on September 30, 1993.

Unlike the Fighting Stick which has models that were built specifically to one console each, the Multi is compatible with multiple video game consoles, with Super Famicom/SNES, Mega Drive/Genesis and PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 are supported. It come with 3 detachable cables for connecting to any of the 3 video game consoles. Other features like turbo function and slow motion function were retained.

The Multi has a more affordable counterpart in the form of the HORI Dual Heavy Weight (also known as Fighting Stick Dual in Japan).

Due to being made specifically for video game consoles, the Fighting Stick Multi requires a third-party adapter to be able to use on PC (See Adapters), and even then, it will acts as a DirectInput device, requiring the use of a third-party wrapper to play games that only support the XInput API.
